Washington v. Commonwealth

CLEMENTS, Judge.

Paul Donald Washington was convicted in a bench trial of possessing marijuana with intent to distribute, in violation of Code § 18.2-248.1(a)(2), and of transporting more than five pounds of marijuana into the Commonwealth with intent to distribute, in violation of Code § 18.2-248.01. On appeal, Washington contends the trial court erred (1) in denying his motion to suppress the statement he made to police and (2) in finding the evidence sufficient to support his conviction on the transporting charge. Finding no error, we affirm the convictions.
